Consider a spherical shell of radius RR at temperature TT. The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volume u=UV∝T4u=\frac{U}{V}\propto T^4 and pressure p=13(UV)p=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{U}{V}\right). If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion, the relation between TT and RR is:
